Arthur Myron Corman, a hardworking trapper and family man of the north, passed away peacefully at the age of 95 surrounded by his family in The Pas Hospital on Friday January 2, 2009. He entered the hospital a day before, after falling and suffering a heart attack.
Art grew up in the Winnipegosis area, but later moved to the north to work in mining, diamond drilling, and trapping. His hard labor rewarded him with a long healthy life. He lived in Herb Lake for 9 years before moving permanently to The Pas commuting to his trap lines in the Snow Lake area. He didn’t retire until he was 75. He was a wise man who loved to talk to anyone, especially about politics and religion. Everyone was welcome in his home, unless you disagreed with his opinions. At Christmas he would go to the bank and take out money to give to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; and buy boxes of chocolates and whiskey for his company. This would give him time to spend with his family, instead of shopping, and meant he didn’t have to worry about what to get. He did not believe in worrying, which is why he claimed he lived so long.
Art is survived by his wife, Anne Corman; children, Ron Corman (Irene Bjarnson), Robert Corman, Sophie (Greg) Chartran; grandchildren, Greg Chartrand, Carri (Jack) McDonald, Annette Chartrand, Tammy (Peter) Posillipo, Trudy Chartrand; and great-grandchildren, Julia and Jackson McDonald, Devon and Luc Posillipo, and Seth Chartrand.
